Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion. My point is that people doing work in this space are identifying specific problems and suggesting how to solve them, which is addressing the OP's concerns about a lack of specificity. If you don't like the methods, you can certainly engage with the authors of this work rather than write angrily about it on this forum.
